Blackman Tourney Champs !
What a way to start the season. This was a great weekend of baseball, topped off with a tough, hard fought win against a very good Blackman team. I am very proud of all the boys, JV and Varsity.
JV played really well. The JV pitchers who came Saturday performed above expectations. I am pleased with their progress and that experience will pay off for this JV squad going into the season. The JV game was a success. I'm not worried about the score, we pitched some guys who have not gotten alot of experience, (and they did well) and we batted 14 players in the line-up. We got some hits, bunts and left some runners on base. Our goal was to get as many players "game" experience as we could and we accomplished that. This JV squad has the ability to win many games this year, and if they keep up the hard work they will.
Varsity, WOW!!!! You guys worked your butts off this weekend. It felt like travel ball this weekend, playing 3 games in one day, and you guys never looked tired. Saturday we left a reputation as a powerful, well balanced baseball team. There were alot of people talking about the team that beat Blackman, now that's impressive. Everything we did in all 3 games Saturday was great, good defense, offense and pitching was "lights-out". The championship game Sunday was a struggle, we made defensive errors, did not hit the ball near as well as Saturday, and we watched strike three 7 times (only once Sat.). With all of that being said, we still found a way to win. And, championship teams find ways to win tough games.
I am very proud to be your coach. We left Murfreesboro with a great reputation and I assume will be invited back for some more tourney's in the future. Now, let's get ready for the Cody Holder Invitational this weekend. Lets work hard and be gracious and respectable "hosts" to the teams traveling here. Let's play hard Saturday night and have fun in front of a home crowd.
Good job,
Coach Floied
